Art Opening: Thomas Cook
There From Here: A Decade of Exploration Through Oil Painting.

Showing at Blue January 30 through February 27, 2006

Born and raised on the coast of Maine, Thomas recently earned a Bachelor of Fine Art from the Maine College of Art in Portland. His paintings, oil on canvas, reveal a distinctly impressionistic approach and cover varied subjects. “I’ve been working a lot lately on imagined land and cityscapes”, says Mr. Cook. “Painting has always allowed me to release my fascination with world we live in.”
